The Newly Acquired German Air Traffic Has Thus Been Provided with Essential Assessment Bases For Its Own Development From the Wealth of Experience in World Air Traffic. In view of the rapid development of World Air Traffic, It Seems Imperative that the factors determining this development be continuously monitored and the result material Recorded Anually in Comparable Statistics. After a FEW Years (4 to 5), a Complete Revision of Research Report No. 195 Should Appear Appropriates. By that time, considerable experience from the new German air traffic will be available, which must be a given the Attention It Deserves. In this way, too, the German side is to make a significant contribution to the international development of air traffic.

For the Cooperation with the World's Largest Aviation Nations and 2. The Statements by the USA So Contain Comprehensive Suggestions for Other Countries, Search as Germany, to Clarify and Define Their Own Aviation Policy.
